    buddy of mine had bought 12 of them and he doesn't need em anymore so now i own them. Will they work for the same length of time with the shorter filter area? or would you suggest i still just use the G3's?

    Technically your engine shouldn't be that dirty on the insides with the low mileage. Do you change at 3k or 5k miles?

    Yeah, we should hook up and meet for sure. Like Eric said, I should let you work you BBQ Magic on some this excess buffalo meat I have. Just processed 5 buffalo and it looks like you got some serious skills working that smoker and grill of yours.

    I'd use the bigger filters then. If you were changing at 3k miles I wouldn't worry.

    It is on with paint this time. Still needs some touch ups but will get me through the summer. Once I figure out if I'm done adding stuff to the swing out it will get powder coating. I think I'd like to put my highlift or a Rotopax or 2 on the swing out.

    I'm also looking for a full sized spare (255/85r16) if you happen to see one.

    I think I'm going with a Relentless Fab front bumper. The DIY kit. I need to save a few bucks over any assembled plate bumper

    Looks good Brian! The tan looks awesome with the green.

    On another note I got most of the design done with masking tape and I'm very happy with how it looks. Now to transfer everything to the pvc and check my angles.

    I like the green and tan too. Looks sharp Brian!

    Can't tell for sure but it looks like your bedsides are intact and the bumper just wraps?

    Got an alignment today after antiseizing all the LCA cam bolts over the weekend.

    I'm down to a little less than a degree of caster. I used to have a little better than a degree and I think it's because with the new leaf pack I went from a slight bro lean to an inch of rake.

    Still doesn't seem to cause any problems though. Truck goes straight hands off even under hard braking.

    Glad I got those cam bolts coated after working on Jeremy's!

    Just wraps for now. That is one of the features I liked when I found it, after building it, not so sure. I might change that after this summer if it takes a hit and gets damaged. The sides are just bent plate. While I have them braced back to the frame, they look unfinished and likely weak. I could cut them at a body line angle, cut the bed to match and plate the top. I could point it out more the next time we meet up.

    Finally got my highlift installed under my new cover! Picked this up last dec finally got around to mounting it thanks to the DYI posts here for mounting options.

    Next: lift, wheels and tires.

    Was thinking about getting 5100 kit from toytec or the new 6112'shttp://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/355543-new-bilstein-6112-coilover-spy-shots-27.html could be a couple months on those. Looking to gain a 2.5 inches in front and 2 inches in back with aal. So many choices and directions.

    I'm not to thrilled with my 5100s. The valving is too soft for spirted off road driving. In washboard the vehicle steps out very easy. On road it feels very squishy and easily over powered by the weight of the vehicle. keep in mind this is on a 1st gen Tacoma, not second. I will be upgrading this summer to a Toytec Ultimate or somthing like it.

    My 4runner runs OME. The valving is better then the Tacoma off road. The guy I purchased it from said it was too stiff for his Tacoma.

    If you don't plan on bumpers or sliders the 5100 would be a good option. Close to a OEM ride.

    I think 5100s are the most over-recommended, over-rated TW product out there. Can't wait to be rid of mine. I can't speak to the 6112s as no one has seem them yet, but really don't understand spending that amount of money to still preload springs.

    I think OME is the best option without going to the higher-end choices.
